So happy to be featured on Empowerography Podcast telling my personal story of how I went from self-loathing to self-loving through entrepreneurship and what inspires me most about the work I do.
If you’ve ever lacked purpose, felt like you don’t belong, or you don’t like yourself or your life – I want you to know I’ve been in that position myself for many, many years, since childhood, and it wasn’t until 2012… that everything changed for me and I went from self-loathing to self-loving.
See what I mean by watching this video below – or clicking through this link https://youtu.be/byZgpAY5L88?si=evHmdPpnlyThSm9r
After watching the video, you may have noticed that in order to self-love, you need to:
- Take notice of all the special qualities you have.
- How much life experience you have.
- How much knowledge you have gained, through work and your life.
- How many skills you have gained, through work and your life.
- All of which you can use to help others.
- Which means you are useful, not useless.
- You are worthy of being in life.
- You matter.
So think about all of these.
Helping others gives you purpose, meaning, and helps you to heal also. Even if that’s doing some sort of volunteer work – online or offline.
Helping yourself, by seeing your own value and worth, even when you’re not helping others, is important to your own health and wellbeing.
The more you see yourself as you truly are, not what love ones, family, so called friends and society have conditioned you to believe and think you are, the more you can be your true authentic self and love yourself. You can’t love yourself if others have manipulated and brainwashed you into believing you are this, that, and the other… and you can never change and there is something inherently wrong with you – what’s wrong with you, is the lies of unworthiness other people have fed you, and you believe, if you lack self-love. I hope you can begin to see, if you lack self-love, that you are worth loving and being in life.
Which leads me on to my next point and video clip, just because someone gives you feedback, doesn’t mean you have to take it onboard and accept it, it’s more important for you to be your authentic self, especially in business as that’s when you be become the brand and you’re no longer a commodity. Watch it here https://youtu.be/ygU6BECJOiM or click play on the video below.
There will be people who don’t understand you, who don’t agree with what you do, and will try to give you advice on how to do something in the way they would do it, but they’re not you, and if your audience has known you for a long time, they will know if you are faking things, if you’re not being your true authentic self, and they will feel it. People pleasing someone else to keep the peace when you’re own self-worth, self-esteem and self-brand is at stake, is not a wise move. It take guts to stick up to these people if they are directly in your life on a regular basis, but you have a duty of care to yourself, to do the right thing by you as well as your audience and brand. Never give up being you, because of the tight pigeon hole, someone else wants to put you in, as that suppresses and represses, who you truly are.
I also got asked during this in-depth, empowering interview, what lights me up and inspires me most about the work I do, to which I replied this… watch the video below to find out, or by clicking this link https://youtu.be/wNS3JIUFB9c
When you’re doing work you love and your mission (your why) is so BIG, you will continue to stay motivated to achieve your goals. So always go after what you love, not what other people love and want you to love. Always stay true to you.
